I'm getting ready to buy a complete wiring harness for my 69 coupe and need your thoughts on the best one to purchase.

I believe there are 2 companies we have found to be very good, American Autowire and M & H Electric.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at M&H Electric this morning but haven't checked out American Autowire. Will do that now.

A Fellow FGF'er who doesn't get on this forum much and doesn't post near enough has an excellent web site and did his '68 bird with American Auto Wire. See http://www3.telus.net/public/68bird/wiring.htm

Some good info here

I'll 2nd the recommendation on American. Bought the same package and rewired (wired) the entire car. Quality kit, good instructions and fair price.

I am going to weigh in for the M&H side. While I will concede that the AAW kit was tempting, I went with M&H and had no issues at all. All the harnesses were great reproductions of the originals, with all the connectors already installed. So the crimper and the soldering iron stayed in the drawer. I figure that they both would have ended up costing the same at the chiropractor (if you're over a certain age ), so I went with the plug and play.

I just spoke to a sales rep at Performance years about a new harness. They sell the both the M&H and American Autowire harnesses interchangeably. He says that the American Autowire guy split off from the M&H guy and they're basically selling the same harness. I asked about having to crimp and solder things and he said they are both plug and play..ready to go. If that's the case, I guess it would be hard to go wrong either way.

I have 2 M&H hanesses & find them to be of excellent quality.

If you have the gauge package, go with the M&H kit. It has the heavy wire for the ampmeter. A representative from AAW spoke at one of our club meetings and stated that they no longer do this because of liability issues. You might want to investigate this more......John
